I’m honored to be speaking at the Smart Moves Summit 2025, taking place this August at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, VA (Washington D.C. area).
I’ll be presenting on our work with the Chicago Public Schools Academic Chess Program—the largest district-run chess initiative in the U.S.—and how we’ve used chess as a catalyst for academic achievement, social-emotional growth, and community engagement in underserved neighborhoods.
This global summit brings together leaders in education, chess, innovation, and youth development to explore how strategic thinking and equitable access can shape the future of learning.
📅 August 4–5, 2025
📍 Episcopal High School, Alexandria, VA
